COLORED AUTO OWNERS AND DRIVERS COMPLAIN AGAINST TREATMENT OF TRAFFIC COP ROUGH AND ABUSIVE AT FOURTH AND WALNUT Up until a few weeks back colored citizens who owned automobiles or who drove them and were alone in their cars when crossing intersections where there are traffic policemen experienced little trouble, when they happened to be a little slow about passing through or have to be cautioned or spoken to about some other minor mistake they were usually recognized as due them as citizens, and in the main law abiding constituents of a fair community.
With the placing of new men on the force, or at least making changes at the traffic stations has come a change in the class of treatment of colored people who happen to be driving automobiles and must come in contact with the present squad, several of whom seem to be of a very different class."
"They are Negroes, and they all look alike" seems to be uppermost in the minds of these cops, and it is "come on there nigger," or some other derisive by-expression, in the usually loud, harsh tone and often unnecessarily abusive, and during the past few weeks many complaints have been made, and there is now much comment about the way these traffic cops are approaching to colored citizens, the kind of treatment that is now being received at the hands of these men who are possessed with a little authority, the first decent job ever held by many of them.
Some of our most progressive and respectful citizens are complaining about how they are handled by these men, and these complaints are to be made to the chief and the Board if there is no let up. The big fat policeman at Fourth and Walnut Streets, comes in for the largest amount of criticism. He is number 146 and at his best at paying his respects to Negro owners or drivers around four and five o'clock in the evening. "Nigger" is his own word, and he delights in applying it in driving them by like cattle, even though many of the type of colored men who pass him in their cars never apply an epithet of any sort when speaking of or to white people, and we are terribly insulted when the word "nigger" is applied to them.
